Who has done this with success?
its for the 1200Litre tank.
TT eel is significantly bigger so dominance issues will quckly subside im sure
lots hiding places, line of sight breakers.

tt eel is 70 cms, fire eel is 40 cms.

OR i can grow out fire eel and then move into 1200litre tank.

who has done this with success?
what can i do to make it succeed?
 
dominance issues will likely quickly subside.. the TT will likely kill a smaller fire eel since TT's tend to be the more aggressive of the 2 species. Spiney eels are territorial. really need a sticky ..

I'de go with a bigger fire eel and even then I wouldn't hold my breath for it to work-out long-term. rarely does this combo work.
 
Dang!
shame,
found a fire eel that loves hikari aro sticks lol
i reckon on hikari sticks and massivore i can turn this into a monster quick!

so even if they are both big - i wil still have issues?
anyone tried this ?

how do i know if the TT is aggressive?
seems pretty chilled lol its currently literally jore than 70cms as the height of tank is 72 and its longer than it. thickness is thicker than my forarm lol

should i not try? will it kill it immediately or will i have time to react?
 
I have a 4" tt and a 3" fire...and my tt says it's definitely not possible. i think i'm gonna trade him in for a new tt or fire if the store still has any more and see what happens...
